It’s a mystery to many: Benjamin Netanyahu’s campaign gained steam when he ruled out the creation of a Palestinian state, and he seems determined to continue settling occupied land with Jews. So why would Israelis again back policies that promise friction of all kinds — and will dramatically dilute the Jewish character of their hard-won state by making it eventually inseparable from the millions of Palestinians in the West Bank?…

Tunisia’s president said late Wednesday that his country was “in a war with terror” and condemned what he described as “savage minority groups” after gunmen stormed a museum in the capital, Tunis, killing 23 people. Meanwhile, early Thursday, the country’s prime minister told French radio station RTL that one of the attackers was known to the country’s intelligence services, but no formal link had been established with any terror groups….

Washington — It’s safe to say that President Obama was hoping for a different outcome in Israel’s election Tuesday – just as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did little to hide his preference for Mitt Romney in the last American presidential election. But Mr. Netanyahu will govern for an unprecedented fourth term that is likely to extend beyond Mr. Obama’s last day in office. No one anticipates a sudden dissipation…

(Bloomberg) — There’s little doubt about whom U.S. President Barack Obama favors in Tuesday’s Israeli elections. After years of public acrimony between Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu, a victory by Isaac “Bougie” Herzog, co-leader of the Zionist Union, would give the president the opportunity to reset strained U.S.-Israeli ties at a critical time for his policies in the region. “Without doubt, if Herzog forms the next government,…

Ferguson, Mo., Police Chief Thomas Jackson, the face of a department engulfed by unrest after last summer’s shooting death of black 18-year-old Michael Brown, had fended off repeated calls to step down, but agreed on Wednesday to do just that. “After a lot of soul-searching, it is very hard for him to leave, and for us to have him leave,” said Mayor James Knowles III, who announced Jackson’s departure at…

WASHINGTON—Secretary of State John Kerry, in an often contentious Senate hearing, told lawmakers Wednesday the U.S. isn’t negotiating a “legally binding” agreement with Iran, meaning future presidents could choose not to implement the accord. The back-and-forth between the GOP and the Obama administration over the deal has grown heated within recent weeks. On Monday, a group of 47 GOP senators sent an open letter to Iran’s leaders…

Hillary Clinton acknowledged Tuesday that it “would have been better” to use a government email address along with the personal one she used while secretary of state at her first press conference since the controversy erupted earlier this month. But the likely 2016 presidential frontrunner insisted she did not violate any federal regulation and never risked…

The letter sent on March 9th by forty-seven Republican Senators to the Islamic Republic of Iran, expressly designed to undercut a sitting President in the midst of sensitive international negotiations, is beneath the dignity of…

Members have until midnight on Tuesday…

“There will never be a n***** SAE”, those were the words so cheerfully sang by members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon’s University of Oklahoma chapter on their way to “date night.” That hateful and scripted chant came from SAE, a fraternity whose creed is the True Gentleman written by John Walter Wayland in 1899: The True Gentleman is the man whose conduct proceeds from good will and an acute sense…
